Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C Question Marathon

Define an operon
Name the structural genes of the lac operon
What does the lacI (<-- uppercase i) gene do?

An operon is a group of genes or a segment of DNA that functions in a coordinated matter consisting of an operator, promotor, and structural genes.

The structural genes of the lac operon ...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C Question Marathon

I always hate this question...|I always want to answer based on the parental strand instead of the newly synthesized one and say that it goes 3'->5', instead of 5'->3'(I think this is the answer you're looking for).

The lagging daughter strand is running 3'->5', and the DNA polymerase can only go ...

Re: Simple Machines B/Compound Machines C Question Marathon

Ok, here goes nothing.

A certain single-helical screw has a head whose diameter is 1/2" and a pitch of 1/10". If you apply 100N to turn the screw (just rotational, no downward force) and the screw drives into the wood below with 141N, what is the screw's efficiency?

Re: Simple Machines B/Compound Machines C Question Marathon

A first class lever(to amplify the force), two third class levers (to lower the wedges) and two wedges (to clip the nail)
Wait, wouldn't it be composed of a second class lever (imput on the handle, output on the top wedge, with the cylinder as the fulcrum) and only one 3rd class lever (the bottom ...
